Subject: [PATCH] x86: Make x86@...nel.org a list and not a maintainer

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@...dmis.org>

In the MAINTAINERS file, x86@...nel.org is listed as both:

 M: x86@...nel.org

and

 L: x86@...nel.org

The MAINTAINERS document starts with:

        M: *Mail* patches to: FullName <address@...ain>
	[..]
        L: *Mailing list* that is relevant to this area

As 'M' is for a maintainer with a "FullName", that would hopefully be a
person (but who knows? Maybe in the future it will be AI!), whereas 'L' is
for a mailing list. Assuming that x86@...nel.org goes to a list of people
and is not someone named 'x86' (One of Elon's children?), make the
MAINTAINERS file consistent and have x86@...nel.org all be labeled as 'L'.
